About the editors

Dr. Pankaj Saha holds a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from IIT Kanpur, India. Currently, he is an ORISE-ORAU research fellow in the Multiphase Flow team at DOE-NETL, Morgantown, WV, USA. He has developed complete in-house 3D NS solver implementing finite-difference-method in both serial and parallel architecture. His present work at NETL deals with the modeling of turbulent oil jet discharged into water. 

Dr. P M V Subbarao received his PhD from the department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Kanpur, India. Currently, he is Associate Dean and Professor in the department of Mechanical Engineering, IIT Delhi. His research interest includes analysis of supercritical vapour power cycles, steam generators and turbines, experimental and computational analysis of heat transfer enhancement, flame tomography, thermodynamic analysis of organic power generation cycles, design and development of pico-hydel power plants for rural applications, and development of bio-fuel systems. He haspublished more than hundred papers in international journals and conferences as well as several book chapters. 

Dr. Basant Singh Sikarwar obtained his PhD from IIT Kanpur, India followed by a postdoc at the Iowa State University, USA. Currently, he is Professor and Head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Amity University, Noida, India. He has published about 80 journal and conference papers. Dr. Sikarwar is a member of the Indian Society of Mechanical Engineering. He is a co-holder of four national and international patents, and also a recipient of DST and MSME funding for research.
